Brett T at Twitchy:
‘I won’t be pathologized for being White’: Man resigns from school district over ‘white privilege’ training
This is quite a letter to the Manchester School District, aka “The Temple of Equity,” from Daniel Concannon, who addresses his resignation letter to “Human Wedgie McGee,” the program director of something called the 21CCLC Program. . . .
At American Thinker, Charlotte Cushman explains why students
should have the opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in the
classroom:
. . .
Should the Pledge be
recited? And should children be taught the Pledge of
Allegiance? Here is what I wrote to a group of teachers who were
discussing whether or not a child should learn the Pledge of Allegiance:
There are a lot of lies being told
about the United States and its history right now. The goal is to
get people to hate our country, divide us, and make our country and Western
civilization fall. (I have literally heard people say
this.) Our country was the first country on Earth that was created that
recognized individual rights — that each individual had a right to pursue
his/her own happiness as long as the rights of others were
respected. Before the creation of this country, people had to live
their lives for a king or some other authority. Slavery was common
at that time in history, and while it took time for change to happen (as it
always does), it was the idea in the Declaration of Independence that all men
are created equal that led to the Civil War and ended slavery in this country.
I understand that some people think
that teaching children the Pledge is a form of
indoctrination. Indoctrination is repeating an idea or belief to
someone until they believe it. As this idea or belief is repeated,
no proof is given for it, and no questions or discussions are
allowed. The Pledge is not indoctrination if children are taught the
accurate history of our country and understand the meaning of the pledge to our
flag. The United States flag is a symbol for freedom, and freedom is
essential to life. It stands for individual rights, and individual
rights are essential in order to pursue happiness. When I pledge to
the flag, in my mind I know that I am pledging to the original ideals put forth
by the founding fathers: life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. Therefore, it is logical to say that you're teaching
children about the fidelity that the Pledge represents — the fidelity of the
concept of individual rights.
By reciting the Pledge of
Allegiance, Americans promise to be true to these ideals, not to take freedom
for granted, and to remember the countless men, women, and children who have
given their lives through the centuries so Americans can live peacefully
today. When children recite the Pledge, they are given the
opportunity to think about their roles as citizens, the founding principles of
their country, and may be incentivized to think more about the meaning and
significance of the Pledge. The Pledge can stir up curiosity
regarding their country and the desire to learn more about early American
history.
Only when a person understands the
significance and profound meaning of freedom that America has provided can one
feel a stab of pride and patriotism. However, patriotism cannot be
forced upon anyone. Therefore, the recitation should not be
compulsory, which means no punitive action should be taken against children who
do not recite the Pledge.

She makes good points.

Ohio's Governor Perfectly Illustrates
What Republican Impotence Looks Like
Ohio GOP Gov. Mike DeWine has been
the perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with the Republican Party for a
while now. His handling of COVID has been marked by an inconsistent, overly cowardly approach whereby he was behind the
curve on everything from lockdowns to mask mandates.
Unlike Gov. Ron DeSantis of
Florida, who has fought oppressive mandates at every level, DeWine
didn’t take an objective look at what was working and what wasn’t. Rather, he
sought to protect himself, putting in place oppressive mandates and restrictions
that appear to have amounted to nothing at all. In fact, Ohio and Florida ended
up with nearly identical COVID death rates despite their wildly
different policy decisions in regards to the pandemic.
DeWine has been so bad that he
didn’t even lift his state’s mask mandate until June 2nd, months and months
after it became clear masks weren’t anywhere close to a silver bullet. Worse,
he actually encouraged schools to keep masking children up –something that
lacks any scientific justification, at this point, with teachers largely being
vaccinated.
But it’s not just COVID where
DeWine has curled up into the fetal position, looking for CNN approval more
than doing what’s right. On the transgender sports issue, he’s already promised
to veto any legislation sent to him by Ohio’s GOP legislature that deals with
the issue.
There’s more here. And
with Jim Renacci running for Gov., well, that’d just be more
of the same.

Sundance at Conservative Treehouse published President Trump’s
statement about Deep State RINO AG William Barr. He introduces the statement:
After being duped, played and
ultimately conned, by the duplicitous and Machiavellian deep state apparatchik
known as former AG Bill Barr {Go Deep Here} it is no surprise to CTH why President Trump
would be a level of angry that’s almost unfathomable.
Here’s some of Mr. Trump’s statement:
“RINO former Attorney General Bill
Barr failed to investigate election fraud, and really let down the American
people. Even the scam that took place in Georgia of ballot stuffing on camera,
he couldn’t see what was wrong with it.
Just like he failed to understand
the Horowitz report and let everyone down with respect to getting a timely
investigation (where’s Durham?) on all of the corruption of the Obama-Biden
Administration.
It’s people in authority like Bill
Barr that allow the crazed Radical Left to succeed.
. . .
If there was no fraud, why are
Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and other States spending so much
time and effort on exposing the fraud? We already know that:
•101,789 “obsolete” voters on the rolls in Georgia, including 18,486 dead people
•Ballot batches off by up to 17.5 percent in Maricopa County, Arizona
•“Massive” chain of custody problems with drop boxes in Georgia, missing hundreds of thousands of records for months after the election
•Thousands of ballots “wheeled in through the back door” in Fulton County days after the election
•“Double feeding” ballots in Fulton County, Georgia
•Nearly 200,000 illegal “indefinitely confined” votes in Wisconsin that violated Voter ID law
•“Cash for votes” scheme in Nevada
•Illegal alien votes
•Election law changes were not authorized by the State Legislatures, which is mandated by the U.S. Constitution
There’s more here. It
was always going to be an uphill battle against the Deep State, especially getting a conservative and principled nominee for AG – one that was not already
compromised by Deep State membership.
Such a nominee would probably never have gotten confirmed by the
Senate. Still, it is frustrating to see
how much effort it takes just to pull back the curtain.

Carissa Veliz has an unsettling report published on The Daily Mail:
Read this and you won't click 'I agree' ever again:
We're being spied on by phones, computers, TVs, cars –
even the doorbells. Worse, argues Oxford professor
CARISSA VELIZ,we're doing it to ourselves
by giving away our data
Most of us know that our
personal data is being collected, stored and analysed thanks to our
relationship with our mobile phones, computers and the internet. But are we
really aware of the full extent of the privacy invasions into our daily lives?
Let's start at dawn. What is the
first thing you do when you wake up? You probably check your phone.
By doing that, you are informing a
whole host of busybodies – your smartphone manufacturer, app developers and
your mobile company, as well as intelligence agencies (if they happen to be
watching you) – what time you wake up, where you've been sleeping and who you
share a bed with, providing they keep their phone with them too.
If you wear a smart watch it will
have recorded your every movement in bed – including, of course, any sexual
activity. Share a picture or record your thoughts on Facebook, or type a search
into Google,
and that information is tracked and stored.
Perhaps you've run out of sugar and
you decide to ask your neighbour if she has some spare. Standing outside her
door, you notice there's a new smart doorbell, which records images of those
who come near. It's anybody's guess where the footage is going to end up and
what it will be used for.
You turn on your smart TV. It is
probably identifying everything you watch and sending the data to the manufacturer,
third parties, or both.
If you had time to read the privacy
policies of the objects you buy, you would also have noticed that your TV picks
up and records your spoken words and reserves the right to transmit them to
other organisations.

The most recent edition of Hillsdale College’s Imprimis features an essay (adapted from
a speech) by the inimitable Mark Steyn.
It begins:
I live about 20 minutes south of
the Canadian border, which used to be called the longest undefended frontier in
the world. People moved freely back and forth across it all day every day. But
now it’s been closed for over a year. At one point my daughter asked me to
drive her up there, because there was a 30-minute opportunity for people on one
side to talk to their friends on the other. “Sad!” as President Trump would
say. It was like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin during the Cold War, except that
both sides are now like East Berlin.
I don’t know how this happened, but
it is just one indication that America, and the West in general, have become
almost unrecognizable from what they were not that long ago.
Look at just three things we have
lost.
One is equality before the law,
something absolutely essential to a free society. In its place, we now have
politicized law. If a policeman fatally shoots someone, whether his name is
released to the public depends on whether the shooting is consistent with the
preferred narrative of the ruling class. A policeman recently took down a young
woman who was threatening the life of another young woman with a knife, and
that policeman was immediately identified—indeed, his photo was posted and he
was threatened by NBA superstar LeBron James on Twitter. On the other hand, we
know nothing of the policeman who shot dead an unarmed woman in the U.S.
Capitol on January 6. His name will apparently never be released to the public.
Second, border control. Functioning
societies, at least since the Peace of Westphalia three centuries ago, have
borders. America has no southern border and no plans to get one. The official
position of our government seems to be that any of the seven billion persons on
this planet has a right to come and stay in the U.S. for three years, until his
or her assigned court date comes up. As the number of people with pending cases
continues to grow, that three years will extend out to five or seven or 15
years. If we get all seven billion people to come here, the court system will
break down entirely and maybe we can go back to having a functioning border.
And third, dare I bring up the fact
that it is a real question whether we can go back to agreeing to have open and
honest elections? And if we don’t have open and honest elections, control of
our borders, and equality before the law, then we don’t have the conditions for
politics or free government.
And here’s the thing. It is not at
all clear to me that many of America’s conservative politicians understand the
seriousness of all this. You can see it in the fact that they go around trying
to scare people with the specter of a “radical socialist agenda.” For well over
a year now, we have been living in a world in which it’s accepted as normal
that the state has essentially unlimited power—and in which our freedom to
decide for ourselves has been diminished almost to invisibility. Why do these
conservative politicians think the words “radical socialist agenda” still scare
anyone in a time when the state can tell us whether we can have Aunt Mabel over
for Christmas? They are completely out of touch.
Over the same period as the
pandemic lockdowns, we have seen an escalation of so-called wokeness. And if
you look at one of the most startling manifestations of this, transgender
fanaticism—which involves, after all, the abolition of biological sex and, I’m
sorry to have to say it, the physical mutilation of children—one notices that
America is farther down this road than any other country in the Western world.
In other words, at this moment of crisis for Western Civilization, or for what
we used to call Christendom, the leading country of the free world is pulling
the wrong way.
Think of it. Your daughter has been
training since she was a little girl to run in school sports. Now at 17, she’s
in the state high school track championships, and you are forbidden even to
notice that she’s competing against a woman who is 6’2” with thighs like
tugboats, a great touch of five o’clock shadow on her face, and the most
muscular bosom you’ve ever seen. You’re not supposed to notice the craziness of
this, and the craziness is at its craziest right here in America.
We traditionally think of France as
being a bit screwy, but today there are French intellectuals who regard
themselves as hardcore leftists and yet who think America has gone bonkers on
this transgender issue. President Macron himself has said that American
wokeness is an existential threat to the French Republic, and he even found
bureaucrats in France’s education bureaucracy who agreed. There is not a single
bureaucrat in the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., who would agree,
but there are apparently a few in Paris.
If you look further east in Europe
to the lands that were once behind the Iron Curtain—to Hungary, Poland, and the
Czech Republic, which still function as conventional nation-states calculating
their best interests—you find tremendous fear of the threat of wokeness that is
being exported, sometimes aggressively, from America. So it is here in the U.S.
where we have to put the stake through these ideas.
But again, even most of our
conservative leaders and institutions seem oblivious. School districts in
America are talking about revising their curricula to cover transgender issues
from grade school on. Now, I went to an English boys’ school, and we were
expected to pick up sexuality on our own time. In those days people would have
looked puzzled if you had said, “We’re going to have to cancel geography or
Latin, because we need to put gay studies in there.” These days, instead of
going off behind the bike shed during recess to learn about sex, kids need to
sneak behind the bike shed to do a little bit of closeted geography or closeted
Latin. It’s completely backwards. And yet what do we hear from most
conservative politicians? That it would be nice to offer people a tax cut!
We are way beyond tax cuts. We’re
broke. We’re just a smidgen away from $30 trillion in federal debt—something
with no historical precedent. Talking about tax cuts today is like talking
about VAT tax refunds on the Titanic. It’s not actually what’s necessary at the
moment.
Another big issue that should take
our minds off tax cuts is China. I can’t get over the way we in the U.S. have
been ordered by our governors and the CDC to punish ourselves by living small,
shrunken lives, while the people in China who loosed this pandemic on the world
have paid no price for it.
Dr. Fauci has been a federal
government bureaucrat since 1968. He’s the J. Edgar Hoover of public health. He
talks about the COVID virus as if we’re at war. But he seems to think a country
wins a war by taking it out on its own population rather than the enemy, which
is what we’ve done.

Seth McLaughlin at The Washington Times reports:
Trump-backed Max Miller targets ‘so-called Republican’
in Ohio congressional battle
Rep. Anthony
Gonzalez is akin to a car that has been deemed a lemon.
That’s according to Max Miller, the
Republican who launched a primary challenge against Mr. Gonzalez after
former President Trump called
for the scalps of GOP lawmakers
like Mr. Gonzalez who
supported impeachment following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Mr. Miller says
voters in Ohio’s 16th Congressional District were sold on the idea that
Mr. Gonzalez would
fight for them in Washington, but have buyer’s remorse after discovering his brand
of politics is out of sync with Trumpism and the MAGA movement.
“I have no other interest in doing
this other than to serve the people of the 16th District and get an ‘America
First’ conservative in Congress and get one who is a so-called Republican out,”
Mr. Miller told
The Washington Times.
The 32-year-old former Trump aide
became more of a household name in February when Mr. Trump gave him his “Complete
and Total Endorsement!” and warned that Mr. Gonzalez does
not represent the “interest” or “heart” of voters in the district.
Mr. Trump is
set to sing the challenger’s praises Saturday at Lorain County Fairgrounds in
Wellington, Ohio, marking his first
campaign-style rally of the 2022 election cycle.
Full report at The Washington Times is here. Previous CTP post
on the Saturday June 26 Trump rally at the Lorain County Fairgrounds is here.

column:

Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner reports:
The trust people in the United
States have in the media is the lowest in the free world and is likely driving
more and more away from traditional news sources, according to a blockbuster
study of international media consumption.
Of 29 free nations surveyed in
the Digital News Report 2021, U.S. “trust” in the media ranked 46th of 46.
And cable TV is the worst,
according to the report from Oxford University and the Reuters Institute for
the Study of Journalism. The 164-page report said, “Cable news channels Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC have some of the highest levels of
distrust.”
. . .
Our household still gathers news from various aggregators (Politipage, Rantingly, Instapundit, News Ammo, etc.). In the past year, we have also reduced our daily television news consumption to one hour (on OANN) – down from three or four.
So it should come as no surprise that some of the foreign press report actual news better than CNN, Fox, or MSNBC. If you can stand it, try this 8 minute clip from Sky News Australia; it’s what the US media won’t report:
# # #
Brad Palumbo at FEE (Foundation for Economic Education - h/t Instapundit) confirms what many of us figured out maybe a month into the lockdowns:
We Just Got Even More
Proof that
Stay-At-Home Orders Lethally Backfired
A new study finds that lockdown
orders didn’t reduce overall mortality, and may have even increased it.
Life under lockdown was hard for
all of us. From economic destruction to social isolation, the costs of
restrictive government policies intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19
have been steep. But now, yet another study suggests that the benefits wrought
by our collective sacrifice were negligible at best—and that stay-at-home
orders may even have increased overall mortality.
In a new
paper, economists from the University of Southern California and the RAND
Corporation examined the effectiveness of “shelter-in-place” (SIP) mandates,
aka stay-at-home orders, using data from 43 countries and all 50 US states. The
experts analyze not just deaths from COVID-19, but “excess deaths,” a measure
that compares overall deaths from all causes to a historical baseline.
The authors explain that lockdown
orders may have had lethal
unintended consequences in their own right, such as increased drug
overdoses, worsened mental health problems, increased child abuse, deadly
delays in non-COVID medical care, and more. So, to find out whether
stay-at-home orders truly helped more than they hurt, examining excess deaths,
not just pandemic outcomes, is key.
The results aren’t pretty.
“We fail to find that
shelter-in-place policies saved lives,” the authors report.
Indeed, they conclude that in the weeks following the implementation of these
policies, excess mortality actually increases—even though it had typically been
declining before the orders took effect. And across all countries, the study
finds that a one-week increase in the length of stay-at-home policies
corresponds with 2.7 more excess deaths per 100,000 people.

Wahagen Khabayan at The National Pulse reports on a disturbing and invasive App emerging in Massachusetts, and probably already migrating westward:
COVID-Tracker App
Installs Itself Without User Consent,
Including On
Parental-Locked Devices.
Massachusetts state officials recently announced the launch of the “voluntary” MassNotify app, which monitors the spread of COVID-19 in the state. The only problem is the app appears to be installing itself on residents’ and their kids’ smartphones, unbeknownst to users, and without their consent.
. . .
The MassNotify
app was developed in cooperation with both Apple and Google,
and claims to work anonymously and “not track” users’ private information. This
claim was made by Republican Governor Charlie Baker, who said this week: “As we
embrace our new normal, MassNotify is a voluntary, free tool to provide
additional peace of mind to residents as they return to doing the things they
love.”
The app notifies users who have been near a person that tested COVID positive, and the tracking is conducted using the Bluetooth. The app claims that the tracking will be “completely anonymous, with no location tracking or exchange of personal information”. Furthermore, it promises to not share any location data or personal information with Google, Apple, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or other users.
The news creates a disturbing new
dimension to privacy laws and even private property concerns as hundreds of
users have reported their Android phones have had the app surreptitiously
installed, without their prior knowledge.
. . .
The implementation process of the
app clearly contradicts the notion of voluntary participation, as well as
raising concerns as to what else might be installed remotely without users’
knowledge.
Many in the state had no idea the
app had been pushed to their devices until they got a notification. The app
also appears to be reinstalling itself once forcibly removed by users.
“Ghost installed without my
permission, and keeps sending me push notifications. I removed it and it
reinstall itself. This isn’t something I want in my phone, it’s not something
that has permission to be on my phone nor should the commonwealth or any other
place/company be allowed to put something on my phone without my permission,”
said user Beth Silvaggio.

Matthew Boyle reports at Breitbart:
‘People Close to the President Are Not Happy’:
Trump Team
Fuming as Ohio’s Jane Timken Website
Appears to Falsely Claim Endorsement
Ohio Senate candidate Jane Timken
had a photograph on her website’s “endorsements” page of her with former
President Donald Trump, something an aide for the former president told
Breitbart News displeases his team.
The photograph, which first
received public attention from Timken’s
website on Friday, made it appear as though she was claiming Trump’s
endorsement — which she does not have. After a number of the other GOP
campaigns for U.S. Senate in Ohio flagged it to Trump and his inner circle on
Friday morning, Timken removed the photograph from her website.
. . .
The Ohio GOP Senate primary in the race to replace retiring Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) is a crowded one. In addition to Timken, the former chairwoman of the Ohio GOP, other declared and likely candidates include former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, businessman Bernie Moreno, Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance, businessman Mike Gibbons, and more. Virtually all of them are vying for Trump’s endorsement in the state he won twice in the general election and in which he remains popular.
Lots more here. It's not just Ms. Timken. Our household received a campaign mailer from candidate Josh Mandel, such as the one Breitbart published:
These attempts to claim President Trump’s endorsement and support are alienating
some Ohio conservative voters. No more RINOs!

Trump Announces He Is Building 1,954-Mile Long
Trump Hotel
Along Southern Border
The BB "reports":
RIO GRANDE CITY, TX—Trump flew to America's southern border this week to announce a brand-new Trump hotel unlike anything the world has ever seen. The planned hotel will be almost 2,000 miles long and will be situated right on the southern border.
"Yes folks, I'm proud to announce we are building a big, beautiful, golden Trump hotel on the southern border," said Trump to reporters. "Land just happens to be really cheap down here, what can I say? The border just looks terrible ever since Sleepy Joe 'Loserface' Biden stole the presidency from me. Just a disgrace. I'll bet he can't even build a wall as fast and cheap as I can build my new Trump hotel. Watch!"
The luxurious hotel will also include an 800-mile golf course and a 1,000-mile lazy tubing river. The southern wall will be a gleaming and impenetrable barrier with Trump's name emblazoned on it every couple of miles.

Julie Kelly
at American Greatness has been doing yeoman work exposing the crimes
of the D.C. leftists who have targeted, arrested, and imprisoned hundreds of
people who attended President Trump's speech and may have wandered toward or
even into the Capitol on January 6. While there were some bad actors
there that day, most likely Antifa/BLM interlopers or genuine lunatics, most of
those present were actually invited into the Capitol building, as some of the
video has shown.
Who ordered the Capitol police to
stand down? Probably Pelosi, who very much wanted an
"incident" with which to tar and feather Trump and his
supporters. It was possibly a calculated set-up. Who else
was involved remains to be seen, but as everyone knows by now, that event has
been blown so far out of proportion as to no longer resemble at all what
actually took place.
Unlike the Antifa/BLM riots that
occurred across the country over the summer of 2020, the incident that day was
like a schoolyard scuffle compared to the violent, destructive, and even
murderous conflagrations that did hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to
numerous cities. People need to be reminded that the left, most
especially Kamala Harris, Biden, and the leftmedia in its entirety, either
supported those "protests" or called them "mostly peaceful"
— which they certainly were not.
As for those caught up in the
January 6 mêlée, not one of those who have been locked up, some in solitary
confinement was armed. Not one. The only person killed
was Ashli Babbitt, shot to death by a Capitol Police officer. She
was not armed. The officer who shot her has yet to be named;
Babbitt's family is suing to learn his identity. Curious, since when
a criminal is killed by police in the commission of a crime, the officer involved
is usually identified and suspended immediately, even if the shooting was
righteous. Something
is very rotten in Denmark.
. . .
Indeed, the weaponization of all
our federal institutions under the Obama administration transformed this nation
in ways few of us could imagine. Those alphabet agencies, by then
viciously anti-Trump, kicked into high gear the minute Trump won the 2016
election. Over the next four years, from the Russia collusion hoax
to two phony impeachments to January 6, America became something like Putin's
Russia.
. . .
What is happening there is not only
indefensible but depraved. Julie
Kelly has heard from some of those imprisoned that they are being
punished for what was revealed on Mark Levin's Sunday program. Can
this be happening in America? It is happening.
. . .
Please, complacent GOP, go to bat
for those people in the D.C. version of a Soviet labor camp. Rescue
them. Stand and deliver. Now is the time.
Read the full column here.
And here is the link to Julie Kelly’s piece on American Greatness a few
days ago.
Wayne Allyn Root’s column at Townhall reminds us that safe and effective therapeutics -- such as hydroxychloroquine + zinc + Z-Pac, or ivermectin -- have been marginalized because of politics. Here is a key extract, from the closing paragraphs:
It's time to start asking why
treatments for COVID-19 proven in multiple studies around the world to save
lives are slandered, censored and banned by social media? Who are they to ban
life-saving information? Who are they to label life-saving information as
"medical misinformation"? What's in it for them if thousands die
needlessly? Somebody clearly is getting filthy rich on this scam.
I asked [Dr. Vladimir] Zelenko about it on a
return visit to my show only days ago. He said: "Pre-hospital treatment of
COVID-19 was intentionally suppressed. Life-saving information and medication
was intentionally suppressed. ... Out of 600,000 dead Americans, we could have
saved 510,000. The American people have been brutalized and are the victims of
mass murder and crimes against humanity."
I asked Zelenko for his solution to
this ongoing tragedy. He said, "Number one, immediately endorse
pre-hospital treatment with the Zelenko Protocol, and make it the standard of
care. Number two, we must bring these criminals to justice."
Mr. Root’s full article is here. When you have the opportunity, ask your
doctor about all this. Many doctors
still do not have ready answers.

Jeremy Pelzer at cleveland.com has the scoop, and it’s not particularly inspiring:
Jim Renacci, a former congressman
who unsuccessfully challenged U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown in 2018, announced late
Wednesday afternoon he intends to run against fellow Republican Gov. Mike
DeWine next year.
